In that respect it will be good to know what you think your true rating is and what it is currently?

My current ECF rating is 152 which equates to ~1866 FIDE (using ECF*8 + 650 = FIDE). My rating next year should be about 163, or 1954 FIDE. I believe I’m currently worth about 170, or 2010 FIDE. I don’t yet have an official FIDE rating, but based on the 8 FIDE-rated games I have played so far it would be 2016.
